Thank you!! I’m so glad they were helpful!!

Thank you, so glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you so much! 😊 Glad you could find them useful, let me know if you ever have any questions!

I am so glad you enjoyed, thank you for the kind words!

@@CedarShadeFarm can you make a video on beard gene.

Thanks so much for watching, hope it could be of use! 🙂

Just received your FB message! I would be honored! Thank you so much! 😊

Thank you so much! Part 2 is on Incomplete Dominance and Co-Dominance. 😁 Here is Part 2: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5u8QmoLe3C0.html

Hi! I responded to your question on FB but figured I'd answer here too in case anybody had the same question. 😊 Personally, I would go with the blue male provided he is equal in type to the black male. :) Blue X Splash = 50% Blue, 50% Splash. Black X Splash = 100% Blue. (And in case you were wondering, Blue X Blue = 50% Blue, 25% Black, 25% Splash). :) As for the white, it depends on whether or not the male is dominant white or recessive white. :) If recessive white, when bred to the Splash he would make 100% Blue split to Recessive white. (These birds would look blue in appearance). If these Blue split to recessive white (gene symbol: c, gene symbol for absence of recessive white: C+) were bred back to the recessive white, the offspring would be 25% c/c, Bl+/Bl+, 25% c/c Bl+/bl, 25% C+/c, Bl+/Bl+, 25% C+/c, Bl+/bl. To translate, 25% would look recessive white, but would be hiding black (recessive white covers everything, although occasionally some red leakage could pop through if the bird has gold). 25% would look recessive white but would hide blue. 25% would look black but carry one gene for recessive white, and 25% would look blue but carry one gene for recessive white. If the white is dominant white, all offspring would be Blue Paint. :) (Like normal paint, but the black (eumelanin) would be diluted to blue instead of black). 😊 As for mottled, the mottled gene (recessive, gene symbol: mo, gene symbol for absence of mottling: Mo+) is completely separate and would have to be introduced. :) Mottled X Black would give 100% Blacks split to mo. Mottled X Blue would give 50% blues split to mo and 50% blacks split to mo. Mottled X Splash would give 100% blue split to mo. None would show mottling, except perhaps a patch here or there in juvenile plumage that would molt out by adulthood. If you bred a blue split to mottled back to the mottled, you would get 25% blue split to mottled, 25% black split to mottled, 25% blue mottled and 25% black mottled. Black split to mottled X mottled would give 50% black split to mottled, 50% mottled. Splash split to Mottled X mottled would give 50% blue split to mottled and 50% blue mottled. If avoidable, personally I wouldn't try to make splash mottleds, but it's up to you. Mottled can look very striking on a blue or black bird though! 😍 I hope all this helps and you could find your answer here. :) If you (or anybody else 😊) have any other questions, please don't hesitate to ask! For more information, this video covers the genetics of Blue/Black/Splash (BBS) breeding and Paint breeding. :) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5u8QmoLe3C0.html

Thank you! Glad it could help! 😁 And for this video, the breed featured in Blue, Black and Splash were Andalusians. 🙂 Also have that color in Silkies but may not have when the video was made. If you need additional pictures or information feel free to message me and I’d be happy to share some! 😊

@@CedarShadeFarm that’s what I was going to guess. I have Silverudd’s Blue and they look very similar 💙

Nope! 🙂 A chick gets all their genes from their parents. Their parents got their genes from their parents, and so on. Now, a chick’s parent may be carrying a recessive gene they got from their parents that they pass onto the chick, but those genes still only come from a chick’s parents. 🙂

I haven’t yet! Always a work in progress. 😅 I’m working on the e-series now, then silver/gold.

Recessive genes can sneak up on you lol

Hey there! Because these are two different breeds (Rhode Island and Brahma), by mixing them, you won't have any purebred chicks, they will be mutts. Are you asking about what color they'll be? 🙂

​@@CedarShadeFarmwhat about Male jungle fowl and ayam cimani Hen How would be they look
